2015 Toyota Prius Plug-in vs. 2015 Volkswagen Golf Review

Comparison Review

Comfort
The Toyota Prius Plug-in offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Volkswagen Golf with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.
Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Golf, the Toyota Prius Plug-in may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Toyota Prius Plug-in will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Volkswagen Golf, which has a much lower MSRP.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Toyota Prius Plug-in and the Volkswagen Golf have similar Destination Charges.

Drivetrain
